i_o have_v raise_v from_o these_o word_n a_o undoubted_a truth_n that_o those_o outward_a help_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v we_o in_o his_o worship_n even_o the_o least_o of_o they_o may_v not_o be_v neglect_v by_o we_o see_v the_o proof_n of_o the_o doctrine_n in_o two_o degree_n first_o in_o that_o part_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a worship_n which_o david_n speak_v of_o here_o those_o purification_n and_o wash_n that_o be_v prescribe_v in_o moses_n law_n though_o they_o be_v but_o carnal_a ordinance_n as_o the_o apostle_n call_v they_o hebr._n 9.10_o that_o be_v such_o as_o a_o

perpetual_a ordinance_n but_o until_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n as_o the_o apostle_n there_o speak_v yet_o while_o that_o law_n stand_v in_o force_n they_o may_v in_o no_o case_n be_v neglect_v this_o be_v evident_a both_o by_o the_o example_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n who_o make_v conscience_n of_o the_o law_n of_o purification_n and_o observe_v it_o careful_o as_o you_o may_v read_v luke_n 2.22_o and_o by_o that_o commandment_n also_o which_o christ_n give_v unto_o the_o leper_n mar._n 1.44_o go_v and_o show_v thyself_o unto_o the_o priest_n and_o offer_v for_o thy_o cleanse_v

second_o observe_v the_o proof_n of_o the_o doctrine_n even_o in_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v no_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n but_o only_a matter_n of_o circumstance_n in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n
